For me, it's important that the script is good. Then a good director will want to make it.

I'm a great bum, and I'm a pretty good director.

A good script and a good brief from the director is enough to let me know what is expected of me.

Give me a good script, and I'll be a hundred times better as a director.

If you create a movie that is only character driven, with a weak plot, then you - as a director, you have to make sure you keep pushing the tempo.

A good project but a poor director will always make a mediocre film, but an average script and good director can make a good film, as he will put in everything to make the film look good.
